Be aware of what is happening in your neighbourhood. If you see anything suspicious call Essex Police on 101 or 0300 333 4444. If a theft or other crime is actually taking place, call 999. You can also report non emergency crime online at – https://www.essex.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/.

If you are reluctant to report what you think is criminal activity, or just want to report your suspicions, then CRIMESTOPPERS may be the organisation you are looking for. Just a phone call enables someone to record what you know, or think you know, whilst giving you total anonymity. Absolutely nothing about you will be recorded or communicated to the authorities.
